'Buttered Cat Paradox' takes physics to a new dimension

5/13/2012

Buttered toast always lands butter-side down. Cats always land on their feet. The "Buttered Cat" paradox asks what would happen if a piece of buttered toast was strapped, butter to the heavens, to the back of a feline. This commercial for Flying Horse energy drink gives us the answer. It's something akin to nuclear fission, followed by a dance party. While one YouTube commenter complained that the buttered cat joke is "much older than the Internet," this is still hilarious, and a perfectly executed idea to which we raise our morning Flying Horse.
